EarBuds

Austin, TX

Former NFL player Jason Fox was warming up before a game when he saw the other team’s quarterback listening to music and getting the crowd hyped up. Jason thought, “Wouldn’t it be incredible if the 85,000 people in the stadium and the millions watching at home could get in his headphones and listen along with him?” After six years in the NFL, that thought is what led to EarBuds, a peer-to-peer music sharing app that allows users to listen to one another’s playlists in real time. EarBuds allows users to get in the headphones of friends and favorite celebrities, listening in while pro-athletes work out, or to the green room playlist before their favorite band takes the stage. This is done by syncing with the user’s existing Apple Music or Spotify accounts. After they pair your account it’s easy to livestream your music to the world. After a livestream, EarBuds functions just like social media, so users can chat, interact, and stay up to date on the latest music by following influencers like Nelly, Baker Mayfield, Eli Young Band, Jordan Hicks, Andy Dalton, and Delanie Walker.
